PART 3 -- EXECUTION
3.01 FORM DESIGN
A. Forms and falsework shall be designed for total dead load, plus all construction live load as
outlined in ACI 347. Design and engineering of formwork and safety considerations during
construction shall be the responsibility of the Contractor.
B. Forms shall be of sufficient strength and rigidity to maintain their position and shape under
the loads and operations incident to placing and vibrating the concrete. The maximum
deflection of facing materials reflected in concrete surfaces exposed to view shall be 1/240
of the span between structural members.
C. All forms shall be designed for predetermined placing rates per hour, considering expected
air temperatures and setting rates.
3.02 CONSTRUCTION
A. The type, size, quality, and strength of all materials from which forms are made shall be
subject to the approval of the Engineer. No falsework or forms shall be used which are not
clean and suitable. Deformed, broken or defective falsework and forms shall be removed
from the work.
B. Forms shall be smooth and free from surface irregularities. Suitable and effective means
shall be provided on all forms for holding adjacent edges and ends of panels and sections
tightly together and in accurate alignment so as to prevent the formation of ridges, fins,
offsets, or similar surface defects in the finished concrete. Joints between the forms shall be
sealed to eliminate any irregularities. The arrangement of the facing material shall be
orderly and symmetrical, with the number of seams kept to a practical minimum.
C. Forms shall be true to line and grade, and shall be sufficiently rigid to prevent displacement
and sagging between supports. Curved forms shall be used for curved and circular
structures. Straight panels joined at angles will not be acceptable for forming curved
structures. Forms shall be properly braced or tied together to maintain their position and
shape under a load of freshly-placed concrete. Facing material shall be supported with
studs or other backing which shall prevent both visible deflection marks in the concrete and
deflections beyond the tolerances specified.
D. Forms shall be mortar tight so as to prevent the loss of water, cement and fines during
placing and vibrating of the concrete. Specifically, the bottom of wall forms that rest on
concrete footings or slabs shall be provided with a gasket to prevent loss of fines and paste
during placement and vibration of concrete. Such gasket may be a 1 to 1-1/2 inch diameter
polyethylene rod held in position to the underside of the wall form.
E. All vertical surfaces of concrete members shall be formed, and side forms shall be provided
for all footings, slab edges and grade beams, except where placement of the concrete
against the ground is called for on the Drawings. Not less than 1-inch of concrete shall be
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03100-4 Concrete Formwork
added to the thickness of the concrete member as shown where concrete is permitted to be
placed against trimmed ground in lieu of forms. Such permission will be granted only for
members of comparatively limited height and where the character of the ground is such that
it can be trimmed to the required lines and will stand securely without caving or sloughing
until the concrete has been placed.
F. All forms shall be constructed in such a manner that they can be removed without
hammering or prying against the concrete. Wood forms shall be constructed for wall
openings to facilitate loosening and to counteract swelling of the forms.
G. Adequate clean-out holes shall be provided at the bottom of each lift of forms. Temporary
openings shall be provided at the base of column forms and wall forms and at other points to
facilitate cleaning and observation immediately before the concrete is deposited. The size,
number and location of such clean-outs shall be as acceptable to the Engineer.
H. Construction joints shall not be permitted at locations other than those shown or specified,
except as may be acceptable to the Engineer. When a second lift is placed on hardened
concrete, special precautions shall be taken in the way of the number, location and
tightening of ties at the top of the old lift and bottom of the new to prevent any unsatisfactory
effect whatsoever on the concrete. For flush surfaces at construction joints exposed to view,
the contact surface of the form sheathing over the hardened concrete in the previous
placement shall be lapped by not more than 1 inch. Forms shall be held against hardened
concrete to prevent offset or loss of mortar at construction joints and to maintain a true
surface.
I. The formwork shall be cambered to compensate for anticipated deflections in the formwork
due to the weight and pressure of the fresh concrete and due to construction loads. Set
forms and intermediate screed strips for slabs accurately to produce the designated
elevations and contours of the finished surface. Ensure that edge forms and screed strips
are sufficiently strong to support vibrating screeds or roller pipe screeds if the nature of the
finish specified requires the use of such equipment. When formwork is cambered, set
screeds to a like camber to maintain the proper concrete thickness.
J. Positive means of adjustment (wedges or jacks) for shores and struts shall be provided and
all settlement shall be taken up during concrete placing operation. Shores and struts shall
be securely braced against lateral deflections. Wedges shall be fastened firmly in place
after final adjustment of forms prior to concrete placement. Formwork shall be anchored to
shores or other supporting surfaces or members to prevent upward or lateral movement of
any part of the formwork system during concrete placement. If adequate foundation for
shores cannot be secured, trussed supports shall be provided.
K. Runways shall be provided for moving equipment with struts or legs. Runways shall be
supported directly on the formwork or structural member without resting on the reinforcing
steel.
3.03 TOLERANCES
A. Unless otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents, formwork shall be constructed so
that the concrete surfaces will conform to the tolerance limits listed in ACI 117.
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03100-5 Concrete Formwork
B. Structural framing of reinforced concrete around elevators and stairways shall be accurately
plumbed and located within 1/4 in. tolerance from established dimensions.
C. The Contractor shall establish and maintain in an undisturbed condition and until final
completion and acceptance of the project, sufficient control points and bench marks to be
used for reference purposes to check tolerances. Plumb and string lines shall be installed
before concrete placement and shall be maintained during placement. Such lines shall be
used by Contractor's personnel and by the Engineer and shall be in sufficient number and
properly installed. During concrete placement, the Contractor shall continually monitor
plumb and string line form positions and immediately correct deficiencies.
D. Regardless of the tolerances specified, no portion of the building shall extend beyond the
legal boundary of the building.
3.04 FORM ACCESSORIES
A. Suitable moldings shall be placed to bevel or round all exposed corners and edges of
beams, columns, walls, slabs, and equipment pads. Chamfers shall be 3/4 inch unless
otherwise noted.
B. Form ties shall be so constructed that the ends, or end fasteners, can be removed without
causing appreciable spalling at the faces of the concrete. After ends, or end fasteners of
form ties have been removed, the embedded portion of the ties shall terminate not less than
2 inches from the formed face of the concrete that is exposed to wastewater or enclosed
surfaces above the wastewater, and not less than 1 inch from the formed face of all other
concrete. Holes left by the removal of form tie cones shall be reamed with suitable toothed
reamers so as to leave the surface of the holes clean and rough before being filled with
mortar as specified in Section 03350 - Concrete Finishing. No form-tying device or part
thereof, other than metal, shall be left embedded in the concrete. Ties shall not be removed
in such manner as to leave a hole extending through the interior of the concrete member.
The use of snap-ties which cause spalling of the concrete upon form stripping or tie removal
will not be permitted. No snap ties shall be broken off until the concrete is at least
three days old. If steel panel forms are used, rubber grommets shall be provided where the
ties pass through the form in order to prevent loss of cement paste.
3.05 APPLICATION - FORM RELEASE AGENT
A. Forms for concrete surfaces that will not be subsequently waterproofed shall be coated with
a form release agent. Form release agent shall be applied on formwork in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations.
3.06 INSERTS AND EMBEDDED ITEMS
A. Sleeves, pipe stubs, inserts, anchors, expansion joint material, waterstops, and other
embedded items shall be positioned accurately and supported against displacement prior to
concreting. Voids in sleeves, inserts, and anchor slots shall be filled temporarily with readily
removable material to prevent the entry of concrete into the voids.
3.07 FORM CLEANING AND REUSE
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03100-6 Concrete Formwork
A. The inner faces of all forms shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to concreting. Forms may be
reused only if in good condition and only if acceptable to the Engineer. Light sanding
between uses will be required wherever necessary to obtain uniform surface texture.
Unused tie rod holes in forms shall be covered with metal caps or shall be filled by other
methods acceptable to the Engineer.
3.08 FORM REMOVAL AND SHORING
A. Forms shall not be disturbed until the concrete has attained sufficient strength. Sufficient
strength shall be demonstrated by structural analysis considering proposed loads, strength
of forming and shoring system, and concrete strength data. Shoring shall not be removed
until the supported member has acquired sufficient strength to support its weight and the
load upon it. Members subject to additional loads during construction shall be adequately
shored to sustain all resulting stresses. Forms shall be removed in such manner as not to
impair safety and serviceability of the structure. All concrete to be exposed by form removal
shall have sufficient strength not to be damaged thereby.
B. Provided the strength requirements specified above have been met and subject to the
Engineer's approval, forms may be removed at the following minimum times. The
Contractor shall assume full responsibility for the strength of all such components from
which forms are removed prior to the concrete attaining its full design compressive strength.
Shoring may be required at the option of the Engineer beyond these periods.

anyother fixtures required to be embedded therein shall be in place. Forms for openings to
be left in the concrete shall be in place and anchored by the Contractor. All loose debris in
bottoms of forms or in keyways shall be removed and all debris,water,snow,iceandforeign
matter shall be removed from the space to be occupied by the concrete. The Contractor
shall notify the Engineer in advance of placement, allowing sufficient time for a concurrent
inspection and for any corrective measures which are subsequently required.

containing a high range water reducing admixture or cement grout shall be placed with a
slump not less than 8 inches for the initial placement at the base of the wall. Concrete or
cement grout shall meet all strengthandservicerequirementsspecifiedhereinforapplicable
class of concrete. This concrete shall be worked well into the irregularities of the hard
surface.
D. All concrete shall be placed during the daylight hours except with the consent of the
Engineer. If special permission is obtained to carry on work during the night, adequate
lighting must be provided.
E. When concrete arrives at the project with slump below that suitable for placing, as indicated
by the Specifications, water may be added to bring the concrete within the specified slump
range provided that the design water-cementitious materials ratio is not exceeded. The
water shall be incorporated by additional mixing equal to at least half of the total mixing
required. Water may be added only to full trucks. On-site tempering shall not relieve the
Contractor from furnishing a concrete mix that meets all specified requirements.
F. Concrete shall be conveyed as rapidly as practicable to the point of deposit by methods
which prevent the separation or loss of the ingredients. It shall be so deposited that
rehandling will be unnecessary. Discharge of the concrete to its point of deposit shall be
completed within 90 minutes after the addition of the cement to the aggregates. In hot
weather, or under conditions contributing to quick stiffening of the concrete, the time
between the introduction of the cement to the aggregates and discharge shall not exceed
the requirements stated in Article 3.05 of this Section.
G. Where concrete is conveyed to position bychutes, a practicallycontinuous flow in thechute
shall be maintained. The angle and discharge arrangement of the chute shall be such as to
prevent segregation of the concrete ingredients. The delivery end of the chute shall be as
close as possible to the point of deposit and in no case shall the free pour from the delivery
end of the chute exceed five feet, unless approved otherwise.
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03300-14 Cast-in-Place Concrete
H. Special care must be exercised to prevent splashing of forms or reinforcement with
concrete, and any such splashes or accumulations of hardened or partially hardened
concrete on the forms or reinforcement above the general level of the concrete already in
place must be removed before the work proceeds. Concrete shall be placed in all forms in
such way as to prevent any segregation.
I. Placing of concrete shall be so regulated that the pressure caused bythe wet concreteshall
not exceed that used in the design of the forms.
J. All concrete for walls shall be placed through openings in the form spaced at frequent
intervals or through tremies (heavyduct canvas,rubber,etc.),equippedwithsuitablehopper
heads. Tremies shall be of variable lengths so the free fall shall not exceed five (5) feet and
a sufficient number shall be placed in the form to ensure the concrete is kept level at all
times.

interior of the forms so the concrete, at places of deposit, is visible from deck and runways.
L. Concrete shall be placed so as to thoroughlyembed all reinforcement, inserts, and fixtures.
M. When forms are removed, surfaces shall be even and dense, free from aggregate pockets
or honeycomb. To achieve this, concrete shall be consolidated using mechanical vibration,
supplemented by forking and spading by hand in the corners and angle of forms and along
form surfaces while the concrete is plastic under the vibratory action. Consolidation shall
conform to ACI 309.
N. Mechanical vibration shall be applied directlyto the concrete, unless otherwiseapprovedby
the Engineer. The bottom of vibrators used on floor slabs must not be permitted to ride the
form supporting the slab. Vibration shall be applied at the point of deposit and in the area of
freshly placed concrete by a vertical penetration of the vibrator. Vibrators shall not be used
to move concrete laterally within the forms.
O. The intensity of vibration shall be sufficient to cause settlement of the concrete into place
and to produce monolithic joining with the preceding layer. It shallbeofsufficientdurationto
accomplish thorough compaction and complete embedment of reinforcement and fixtures
with a vibrator transmitting not less than 7,500 impulses per minute. Since the duration of
vibration per square foot of surface is dependent on the frequency (impulses per minute),
size of vibrator, and slump of concrete, the length of time must therefore be determined in
the field. Vibration, however, shall not be continued in any one location to the extent that
pools of grout are formed.
P. Care shall be taken to prevent cold joints when placing concrete in any portion of the work.
The concrete placing rate shall be such as to ensure that each layer is placed while the
previous layer is soft or plastic, so that the two layers can be made monolithicbypenetration
of the vibrators. Maximum thickness of concrete layers shall be 18 inches. The surface of
the concrete shall be level whenever a run of concrete is stopped.
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03300-15 Cast-in-Place Concrete
Q. To prevent featheredges, construction joints located at the tops of horizontal lifts near
sloping exposed concrete surfaces shall be inclined near the exposed surface, sotheangle
between such inclined surface and the exposed concrete surface will be not less than 50°.
R. In placing unformed concrete on slopes, the concrete shall be placed ahead of a non-
vibrated slip-form screed extending approximately 2-1/2 feet back from its leading edge.
The method of placement shall provide a uniformfinishedsurfacewiththedeviationfromthe
straight line less than 1/8 inch in any concrete placement. Concrete ahead of the slip-form
screed shall be consolidated by internal vibrators so as to ensure complete filling under the
slip-form. Prior to placement of concrete on sloped walls or slabs, the Contractor shall
submit a plan specifically detailing methods and sequence of placements, proposed
concrete screed equipment, location of construction joints and waterstops, and/or any
proposed deviations from the aforementioned to the Engineer for review and approval.

Article 3.03 - Concrete Finish Schedule. Unless the finish schedule specifies otherwise, all 030415BR
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
03350-2 Concrete Finishes
surfaces shall receive at least a Type I finish. The Engineer shall be the sole judge of
acceptability of all concrete finish work.
1. Type I - Rough: All fins, burrs, offsets, marks and all other projections left by the
forms shall be removed. Projections, depressions, etc. below finished grade
required to be removed will only be those greater than ¼-inch. All holes left by
removal of ends of ties, and all other holes, depressions, bugholes, air/blow holes or
voids shall be filled solid with cement grout after first being thoroughly wetted and
then struck off flush. The only holes below grade to be filled will be tie holes and any
other holes larger than ¼-inch in any dimension. Honeycombs shall be chipped
back to solid concrete and repaired as directed by the Engineer. All holes shall be
filled with tools, such as sponge floats and trowels, that will permit packing the hole
solidly with cement grout. Cement grout shall consist of one part cement to three
parts sand, epoxy bonding agent (for tie holes only) and the amount of mixing water
shall be as little as consistent with the requirements of handling and placing. Color
of cement grout shall match the adjacent wall surface.
2. Type II - Grout Cleaned: Where this finish is required, it shall be applied after
completion of Type I finish. After the concrete has been predampened, a slurry
consisting of one part cement (including an appropriate quantity of white cement in
order to produce a color matching the surrounding concrete) and 1-1/2 parts sand
passing the No. 16 sieve, by damp loose volume, shall be spread over the surface
with clean burlap pads or sponge rubber floats. Mix proportions shall be submitted
to the Engineer after a sample of the work is established and accepted. Any surplus
shall be removed by scraping and then rubbing with clean burlap.
3. Type III - Smooth Rubbed: Where this finish is required, it shall be applied after the
completion of the Type II finish. No rubbing shall be done before the concrete is
thoroughly hardened and the mortar used for patching is firmly set. A smooth,
uniform surface shall be obtained by wetting the surface and rubbing it with a
carborundum stone to eliminate irregularities. Unless the nature of the irregularities
requires it, the general surface of the concrete shall not be cut into. Corners and
edges shall be slightly rounded by the use of the carborundum stone. Brush
finishing or painting with grout or neat cement will not be permitted. A 100 square
foot example shall be established at the beginning of the project to establish
acceptability.

No. 4 as stated in Table 2 unless otherwise noted on the Contract Drawings.
B. The basic mill forms (sheet, strip, plate and bar) are classified by size as shown on
Table 1. Tables 2, 3 and 4 identify finishes and conditions in which sheet, bar and plate
are available.
C. Tables 2, 3 and 4 show numbered finishes and conditions for sheet, bar and plate.
While there are no specific designations for polished finishes on bar or plate, the sheet
finish designations are used to describe the desired effect. This also applies to finishes
on ornamental tubing.
D. There are three standard finishes for strip, which are broadly described by the finishing
operations employed:
1. No. 1 Strip Finish
No. 1 strip finish is approximately the same as No. 2D Sheet Finish. It varies in
appearance from dull gray matte to a fairly reflective surface, depending largely
on alloy composition and amount of cold reduction.
2. No. 2 Strip Finish is approximately the same as a No. 2B sheet finish. It is
City of Denton Hazen and Sawyer
05061-5 Stainless Steel
smoother, more reflective than No. 1, and likewise varies with alloy composition.
3. Bright annealed finish is a highly reflective finish that is retained by final
annealing in a controlled atmosphere furnace.

Standard Mechanical Sheet Finishes
Unpolished or Rolled Finishes:
No. 1 A rough dull surface which results from hot rolling
to the specified thickness followed by annealing
and descaling.
No. 4 A polished surface obtained by finishing with a
120-150 mesh abrasive, following initial grinding
with coarser abrasives. This is a general purpose
bright finish with a visible "grain" which prevents
mirror reflection.
No. 2D A dull finish which results from cold rolling
followed by annealing and descaling, and may
perhaps get a final light roll pass through
unpolished rolls. A 2D finish is used where
appearance is of no concern.
No. 6 A dull satin finish having lower reflectivity than
No. 4 finish. It is produced by Tampico brushing
the No. 4 finish in a medium of abrasive and oil. It
is used for architectural applications and
ornamentation where a high luster is undesirable,
and to contrast with brighter finishes.
No. 2B A bright cold-rolled finish resulting in the same
manner as No. 2D finish, except that the
annealed and descaled sheet receives a final
light roll pass through polished rolls. This is the
general purpose cold-rolled finish that can be
used as is, or as a preliminary step to polishing.
No. 7 A high reflective finish that is obtained by buffing
finely ground surfaces but not to the extent of
completely removing the "grit" lines. It is used
chiefly for architectural and ornamental purposes.
Polished Finishes:
No. 3 An intermediate polish surface obtained by
